Stable anti-oil fouling of spray coated L-DOPA/APTES on mixed matrix membrane

Oily wastewater poses a significant environmental concern as it has adverse effects on both ecosystems and human health. The development of highly efficient and robust antifouling membranes for oily emulsion is in great demand to prevent these serious issues in oil/water emulsion filtration. Moreove...
